A year ago, my father's heart attack forced me to cancel a potential move to Omaha. One year later, I'm once again ready to make the move. I intend to be in town in January 2007, after my lease and my current work project expire.
The plan is to relocate first and find work second. The long-distance job hunting isn't going so well -- people find it hard to believe I really do want to relocate to Nebraska from Florida. Apparently, tech recruiters and IT people don't watch the Weather Channel much, nor have they recently priced real estate down here, or tried to find a tech job.
Anyway, I'm really excited about the prospect of coming back -- for good this time. I look forward to once again seeing Don, D'Shawn, Guy, and the others of you who welcomed me here at the forum and in my visits to the city. Your love for your city and friendliness to visitors had a lot to do with my decision to move there.
BTW, Dad recovered from his heart attack and is getting along fairly well.

I was wondering about you just last week Gary. I know stuff with your dad slowed your move up here but that's worth staying around for. Let me know when you're back and I can definantly take you around your new home.
